Nanaia Mahuta Responds to Media Speculation

Nanaia Mahuta Responds to Media Speculation

Speculation that Nanaia Mahuta has been selected to succeed her cousin Kiingi Tuheitia as head of the Kiingitanga and Waikato-Tainui is unfounded.

Ms Mahuta has strongly rejected today’s media speculation, labelling the reports as baseless and incorrect.

“This rumour, which seems to be persistent, is completely unfounded. I am not in line to succeed Kiingi Tuheitia. This isn’t a prospect. It is not going to happen,” said Ms Mahuta.

Ms Mahuta said no further comment would be made on the matter.
